At the Houston Annual Baseball Dinner:

"Cincinnati needs to take notes from Houston," Dunn said. "Houston fans are among the top five fans in the game."

A little Texas puffery. I know it well.
Can't imagine it will play well back in Reds Country, though. It'll probably also be cited as evidence the next time the "Dunn Wants to go to Houston" rumors surface.
Bagwell, perhaps the greatest player the Astros have produced, is entering the final year of a contract that will pay him $17 million this season. But Bagwell's bum right shoulder has the Astros trying to recoup most of that money by filing an insurance claim they can cash in on if he can't play this season.
Bagwell insists he will report to spring training and try to play, which could keep the Astros from collecting on their $15.6 million policy on his contract. Things appear headed for an ugly end.
Is Dunn trying to send a message and get the offer from the Reds up a little ??
West.. I dont understand your point. You see some connection in the 2 things?

If he wanted to get his offer up, all he'd have to do is tell them to turn his baseball card over and read the back.Originally Posted by Astrobuddy
Seriously, though, what was he going to do? Pull an old-school pro-wrestling heel turn mid-sentence?
"Every time I come back to Houston, every time I come back and see the people, every time I come back and see how this community opens it's arms and supports their team - every time I see this, it makes me say to myself...Oh thank god I moved to Cincinnati away from you yahoos!"
Booing ensued, Danny Graves cried.

I really don't care what Dunn says. Honestly. He's not my friend.
As long as he hits home runs for the Reds and gets on base at a .400 clip, he can run his mouth all he wants.

Houston has less than five fans?
That's gotta be worse than, like, the Royals even.
"It's easier to give up. I'm not a very vocal player. I lead by example. I take the attitude that I've got to go out and do it. Because of who I am, I've got to give everything I've got to come back."

Adam went to school in Texas, right?

What is my point?
I guess my point is that the cows are pissing in your water too.
I hope he doesn't drink from the Kentucky side of the Ohio, then.

No Cows pissing in my water. Bagwell is done.
RFS, Dunn lives here.

What a way for a franchise - and apparently at least one hometown Astros fan - to treat only the greatest first baseman in National League history and arguably that franchise's greatest player in its history.

Huh!?! Are you really saying that about Jeff Bagwell? I've loved the Reds HOF Polls but I think there would be some serious discent if he were on that ballot.

He was in Houston... what else is he going to say. There is nothing wrong with Cincinnati baseball fans. For years, Reds fans hav had to put up with tight fisted owners, and the "small market" excuses. Despite all of that, baseball is still huge in Cincinnati, and the fans are some of the best in all of baseball.
